hi, this is my first attempt at a grow diary, but my 4th grow all together. I wasnt really sure where to put this thread because at the moment i only have 1 plant growing (SSC) but i have another seed which is Special K, both seeds i got free when i ordered a White dwarf seed from Pick and Mix seeds.
anyway the reason i wasnt sure was that i am going to attempt my first hydro grow with the special K, i will be growing it in a homemade DWC bucket, of which i have parcially built, but will document the full grow from start to finish when it comes to it...
the SSC unfortunatly i do not know the age of the plant, i can tell so far she has had no nutes, but i have been using SMC spidermite controle (did have pests), and plant magic plus bio wetter as a drench and a foliar spray (great stuff
)
my soil Ph is at about 6.7/6.8.
temps about 25oC lights on.
have just bought tetra test aquarium Ph test strips, which also test nitrite, nitrate, Genral hardness and Carbonate hardness, my tap water is currently at about 7.2 so am buying some Ph up and down on monday.
the equipment i have so far is,
for SSC grow...
250W HPS
Bio Bizz Bloom ferts
Plant Magic Plus bio - wetter
SMC natural insect eliminator
-50 to +70oC digital thermometre
For DWC special K grow...
rock wool cubes
4" net pot
12" airstone
air pump
tetratest aquarium water testing kit
NON digital humidity meter
Grow room materials...
2 bathroom extracter fans
humidity meter
thermometer
soil Ph meter
soil moisture meter
have picked up some activated carbon incase i get round to building a carbon filter.
a few more things to buy obviously, going to my local hydro shop on monday to pick up...
clay balls
hydro grow nutes
bloom nutes
Ph up
Ph down
root booster ?? (dont know weather to buy this, any1 have any experience with this? recomend it?).
anyway very sory for the lecture but thats about it so far, will try and update daily but will probubly be more like once a week will get pics of equip and current SSC grow up soon.
cheers for listening, any advise very welcome.
